For the first time in a single volume, Kathryn Ramey has written a thorough, hands-on guide to the craft and processes of experimental filmmaking, showing you step-by-step the material methods that will help you begin an experimental media practice. From these lessons, following the tradition of Stan Brakhage’s A Moving Picture Giving and Taking Book and Hell Hill’s Recipes for Disaster, you’ll learn to take materials apart and put them together in new ways, use products for purposes other than those intended by their manufacturers, and free yourself from the constraints of conventional media. Experimental Filmmaking provides:
Full-color film stills and illustrations demonstrating various experimental filmmaking techniques
Step-by-step tutorials on hand-processing motion picture film, direct animation methods, optical printing, making your own microphones and other sound experiments, glitch art, and much more
Explanations of the historical, theoretical, and socio-political backgrounds of various experimental filmmaking movements and styles
Advice on how to locate experimental filmmaking communities in your region, as well as how to show and distribute your work
Sidebar interviews with filmmakers currently working in the genre that offer context and direction for your own projects
A companion website (www.focalpress.com/cw/ramey) featuring video examples from numerous films for inspiration and emulation
Whether you’re an aspiring experimental filmmaker or mainstream practitioner who wants to incorporate alternative techniques in your films, Experimental Filmmaking: Break the Machine gives you the tools you need execute your most daring cinematic endeavors!
